Vinca minor aka Common Periwinkle

Common Periwinkle is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal attention, making it an excellent choice for beginners.

Common Periwinkle should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Common Periwinkle loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Common Periwinkle prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Ploi does not possess verified information regarding the toxicity of this particular plant. In the event that you, a member of your family, or a pet ingests plant material with an unclear toxicity level, it is highly recommended to seek the advice of a medical professional.

The Common Periwinkle does not necessitate supplementary humidity. Plants primarily absorb water through their roots, rather than their leaves. Hence, the most effective way to supply humidity to your plants is by watering the soil.

Common Periwinkle’s native range is Europe, Northwest Africa, and Southwest Asia.
